Before atoms
pressure
Protons clutch,
neutrons settle
Hydrogen
into helium
Helium
upward!
The furnace
eats itself
Collapse
Carbon
Oxygen
Matter flung
into dark
into dark…
We the ash of stars
…the spirit
pressed
stripped
driven inward
Faith burned down
to cinders
love cracked open
to void
In the breaking
the heavy cores
are made
In the ruin
something endures
Quiet
and shining
Poetry
These poems are moments pulled from the folds of everyday life, memory, myth and imagination. They are invitations to pause, to notice, and to enter the spaces between words.
One written each day.
Some days are a prick.
Some are a blessing.
